While you’re visiting, take home a taste of Amish Country from The Ashery Country Store. For Curt Yoder and the team at Ashery Country Store, it’s about offering customers the highest quality bulk foods in various weights for purchase. “It’s our goal to turn our inventory quickly to maximize the freshness of our products,” he says. “We believe that buying bulk

not only produces fresher products but also better pricing on many items. “We just put the finishing touches on a new addition and more than doubled the size of our sales floor,” Curt explains. Peanut butter is delicious, and natural, fresh ground peanut butter is even more so. But how about fresh-ground almond or cashew butter? You’ll find it in The 

Ashery’s expanded fresh ground product section. The deli has been enlarged to offer even more sliced meats and cheeses, many which are sourced locally. And new to the store is Cecil’s Frozen Custard, named after Yoder’s father. “This is soft-serve custard, not ice cream,” he notes. “It’s been a great hit. We freeze it here and offer it in cones or sundaes. We still have our hand-dipped ice cream, but the frozen custard gives our customers more choices.

And in addition to more jams, jellies, canned goods, baking mixes, pastas, nuts, and spices, you’ll also find more opportunities to sample–or try before you buy. “We sample many items everyday,” Curt says. “It’s a fun experience for our customers. We are here to help them with their questions and share product ideas and recipes.” As they have since the store’s inception, many people, from locals to out-of-state visitors, enjoy taking part in the Ashery experience and Curt doesn't take that devotion for granted. “We are very invested in serving our customers,” he says. “It’s what we believe, and it’s why we come to work–to reach the hearts of people through tasteful experiences.
